A man who died alongside his son as they cleared up flood damage at their local rugby club was described as a "lynchpin" of the community who lived for the sport.
Bram and Chris Lane were among a dozen people who ventured through the filthy water flooding Tewkesbury RFC to assess the damage on Wednesday night.
When everyone else went home, the pair decided to carry on pumping water from the cellar of Mr Lane senior's beloved club which lies next to the town's ancient abbey.
But something went terribly wrong and on Thursday morning their bodies were discovered by the emergency services after the alarm was raised.
It was not immediately clear whether they had been overcome by the fumes of the petrol-powered pump they were using or electrocuted as they worked.

A total of 6 members, so in theory should be 12 soon.
My wife told me off for collecting photos of good looking women, but now I can search for porn with a valid excuse, just working dear!

Take two non techie rugby players, prop bloody forwards at that, and tell them to build a website for their fellow rugby players. Bloody fu#kin nightmare! Get Duggie in on this, he is quite techie, he knows how to send a text message.
